Pearl/Adams Artists competing also include Independent World Class Finalists Gateway Indoor (7th), George Mason University (8th), and United Percussion (10th). Well deserved Congratulations are also due to Artists Eastside Fury, STRYKE Percussion, and Legacy Indoor for their performances at this weekend’s Championship events.

Pearl Marching Percussion Marketing Manager Dan Twiford adds, “We are extremely proud of every performer and educator whose efforts were displayed on the national stage this weekend. Some ensembles made the trip to Champinships for the first time and others for the twentieth. All of them make Pearl/Adams proud to be the Official Drum Company of WGI”.

Congratulations to all WGI participants for a wonderful 2013 season! Pearl/Adams is the Official Drum Company of WGI and wishes everyone the best of luck as we look forward to what WGI 2014 will bring.
